In case you don't understand how this helps, you should know that you
can pass just *part* of a string (or any array for that matter) to a
subroutine. Assume your 20 character string is named "My_String" and you
have its length stored in "My_String_End":
Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line ( My_String(1..My_String_End) );
